Duran Duran….new album….”Astronaut”…original line-up….first time since ’85…hitting stores in October.

The new single, “(Reach up for the) Sunrise” is already getting airplay on VirginRadio UK (which I listen to via iTunes while I’m working). Good stuff (a remixed dance version appeared in the US on the “Queer Eye” soundtrack)–sounds very much like classic DD anthems, yet still 21st century-ish.

So, Gencon is currently filling Indianapolis with clouds of gamer-funk….and my funk, sadly, is not adding to the mix. Over the past 13 years or so, I’ve only missed GenCon 3 times, including this one…so it feels a bit strange to be reading floor reports and seeing web snapshots and not be a part of it. I’ll be trying to get to GenCon SoCal, though, which is in December, when my schedule is less insane. (Hopefully)

I guess that he and the Board that he got elected are hoping that the whole mess just blows over.
